TradingScreen has introduced a direct connection to Instinet’s CBX Asia alternative trading system for Japanese and Hong Kong equities. The addition of CBX Asia to the TradingScreen network brings to more than 250 the number of execution venues available to the French EMS provider’s institutional trader client base.

CBX Asia will be accessible through TradingScreen’s range of execution management interfaces, including TradeSmart, TradeExcel and TradeFIX. CBX ASIA is a central limit order book with traditional price/time priority. It allows investors to trade in size and anonymously with natural counterparties without exposing orders to pricing pressure from the public markets.
